Corporate & Team Events
The Green Party was so delighted to have welcomed Meredith to lead our entire team in a chocolate meditation. Meredith posted everyone delicious sachets of chocolate in the post before the digital event. That unto itself made people feel cared for. Everyone was grateful for the experience. We would be delighted to welcome Meredith back.
My group wellbeing experiences blend taste, connection and mindfulness – with a generous amount of good chocolate thrown in.
They’re designed to help create happier, more connected teams and equip people with simple tools for everyday self-care.
I particularly enjoy working with teams that want invest in the whole person who turns up to work, not just for ways to boost productivity.
This is often companies looking for slightly quirkier, but still meaningful ways to explore mindfulness and wellbeing,
while also being inclusive of people who are at different stages of managing their mental health.
The types of companies I’ve worked with include: small food businesses, tech startups, e-commerce marketplaces, travel companies, large software development organisations, hospitality colleges & gaming companies. So a VERY broad range!
My team and group sessions are gentle, sensory and fun. They bring together principles of mindfulness, mindful eating & compassionate listening, and can help people with…

I often have a mixed level of experience amongst people taking part in sessions. This ranges from those with regular self-care strategies already in place through to people who are complete beginners in the world of wellbeing. For newbies, my workshops are a lovely way to start to exploring meditation and mindfulness in a very non-threatening, non-judgemental way.
After many years of not managing my own stress very well in a range of office jobs, I love now being able to help other people find delicious ways to manage stress and develop a deeper sense of calm.
Of course there are many benefits of mindfulness and sensory connection, but the other element of these sessions that’s really valuable is taking time out for people to be together as a team. Especially when it involves chocolate! This helps build better communication and a sense of belonging, both of which are essential for successful teams.
I offer online and in-person sessions around the UK (and also supply team gifts from my Calm Cocoa by Meredith Whitely range).

Why me? I’ve been running creative and mindful chocolatey workshops with teams since 2015.
I trained as a meditation teacher with the British School of Meditation in 2017 to add an extra layer of wellbeing to my sessions.
Prior to this I spent over 17 years of working for various big companies – and ran many workshops across this time!
I understand first hand the importance of managing stress and developing a greater sense of resilience in a work environment –
and want to give people some tasty tools to help them along their journey towards better balance.
A little more about why I do what I do…
I loved the balance of hands on working together … as well as learning about mindfulness and meditation.
You reminded me to pay more attention to the experience I was having through being mindful. It’s too easy to rush, and forget how much there is to enjoy from experiencing good food.
